How the program works

Six weeks, from foundation to peak strength.

You follow it a few minutes a day, in order, so you’re never guessing what to do next. Knowing the moves is the easy part. This is the plan that gets you doing them.

Build the foundation.

The first weeks groove the movement patterns — squats, hinges, presses, and rows at loads that let you own your form before you push it.

  • Squats, hinges, presses, and rows
  • Loads that let you own your form
  • Short, guided sessions
  • Clear guidance on what to ease off

Add the load

Then the challenge climbs. Progressive dumbbell work builds real strength across your whole body, while recovery sessions keep you moving well between the harder days. This is the part random workouts skip.

  • Progressive dumbbell strength work
  • Recovery sessions built in
  • Still just a few minutes a session
  • Progresses only as you’re ready

Peak, then keep it

The final weeks bring your strongest sessions — and leave you with a base of strength, and a way of training, that you keep building on long after week six.

  • Your strongest sessions yet
  • Build at your own pace
  • Keep your progress with a simple routine

Designed by a doctor

Designed by a physician. Not an online fitness guru.

The Sporty Doctor App is designed by Dr. Kristina DeMatas, DO, a board-certified Sports Medicine and Family Physician who sees and treats these exact issues in clinic every week. These are the same kinds of movements Dr. D recommends to her patients who want to stay active without overdoing it.

What You get

Everything the program includes.

This is a guided program, not a pile of exercises to figure out. Every session, rest day, and reminder is planned for you. You just show up.

Follow-along video

Clear video for every move, so your form stays right.

Short sessions

A few minutes each, a few times a week.

Flags what to skip

The app marks moves to skip if something is cranky that day.

Session reminders

A gentle nudge keeps you on track between sessions.

Minimal equipment

A pair of dumbbells and a band do the strength work; a foam roller and massage ball handle recovery.

A plan, not a guess

Every session is set for you. Open it and go.

Workouts You Can Actually Do

Built for people with real schedules.

You don’t need a gym membership or hour-long sessions. It starts at a challenging-but-doable level and progresses gradually, with recovery built in so you keep showing up. Start where you are. Progress at your pace. Actually stick with it.

“I don’t have time to train six days a week.”

Sessions are short by design, and four of the six are the strength days that matter most. Recovery days are quick and easy.

“Random workouts never got me anywhere.”

This is progressive programming: each phase builds on the last, so the strength actually accumulates instead of resetting every week.

“I’m worried about wrecking myself with soreness.”

The program climbs carefully from foundation to peak, with recovery sessions built in, so you build strength without the soreness that derails progress.

“I never stay consistent.”

Your routine is already organized in the app. Open it and follow the next session.

Yes. It follows evidence-based strength training principles: progressive overload, balanced movement patterns, and planned recovery. Designed and medically reviewed by Dr. Kristina DeMatas, DO.

A pair of dumbbells does most of the work. A band, a chair, a wall, a foam roller, and a massage ball round out the strength and recovery sessions.

Just a few minutes a session, a few sessions a week. Short on purpose, so you’ll actually do it.

It climbs carefully from foundation to peak with recovery sessions built in, and the app flags moves to skip if something is sensitive. It was designed by a practicing sports medicine physician. As always, check with your own physician before starting a new exercise program.
